Study: Vegetarians Less Healthy, Lower Quality Of Life Than Meat-Eaters

April 1, 2014

Vegetarians may have a lower BMI and drink alcohol sparingly, but vegetarian diets are tied to generally poorer health, poorer quality of life and a higher need for health care than their meat-eating counterparts.

A new study from the Medical University of Graz in Austria finds that vegetarians are more physically active, drink less alcohol and smoke less tobacco than those who consume meat in their diets. Vegetarians also have a higher socioeconomic status and a lower body mass index. But the vegetarian diet — characterized by a low consumption of saturated fats and cholesterol that includes increased intake of fruits, vegetables and whole-grain products — carries elevated risks of cancer, allergies and mental health disorders.....To Read More....

My Take - For the most part, I don't care what people eat. That's the difference between conservatives and leftists. If I want to be a vegan I will. If a leftist wants to be a vegan then "everyone" must. What we need is a little clarity.

We wouldn’t even be having this discussion if American agriculture wasn't so successful. And it's so successful because of adopting Norman Borlaug's Green Revolution outline of high use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and high yield variaties - and genetically modified plants - which the leftists hate. If we were starving, as so many cultures are, we would probably hunt these people down and throw them into jail for intrinsic stupidity.

One more thing. I never quite got it on the pronunciation of vegan. I went about saying v'a'gan long 'a'. I was always corrected by vegans. They pronounce it v'e'gan long 'e'. I thought ... who cares? Then I realized the importance of that difference. Va-(long 'a') just might be a variation describing someone from Venus, or even the star system Vega, and ...perhaps......just perhaps .....this alternative pronunciation is a deliberate effort to disguise aliens from outer space who are here as agents of their planet promoting policies that are detrimental to humanity as a prelude to invasion? Sound a bit loony? Of couse, but I wanted to get into the spirit of this thing with the veeeeeeegans, and their ‘all natural’ crowd. Loony!
